ABC Classic FM (SA) live online

Classical Music radio

Classical radio may include orchestral music, chamber works, opera, choral recordings, and solo performances from different periods. Ensemble size and the presence of voices can change the listening experience considerably: a solo piano work offers a different sound from an opera or a symphony. The genre label alone does not restrict the selection to instrumental music.

News and current affairs

News radio focuses on spoken coverage such as reports, interviews, analysis, and current-affairs updates. Short bulletins offer a quick overview, while longer reports and interviews explore the background to a story. When comparing news stations, the balance between headlines and in-depth coverage is a useful distinction.
